Do you like what you see but can’t afford to buy the original?

I am offering canvas photoprints for a fraction of the price.

These will be printed on Natural Canvas with archival pigment based inks
and protected by a sprayed aquathane coating.
(see below for the technical details)

A standard print will cost au$195 (GST inc.) for a closest fit to 600 sq inches (for example 24in x 24in).
The print will include 70 mm canvas bleed area for purposes of stretching and framing.
Variations to size, format, freight etc can be negotiated.

The print will be sent as a rolled canvas, this allows you to stretch and frame the piece to your own taste.
Postage and Handling will be included in the price.

The Natural products are all acid free and have had most cotton seeds removed.

Aquathane-UV Protective Coating

Aquathane-UV has been tested in combination with Premium Edition and Natural Edition canvas products.
Both products were printed with genuine Epson 9800 Ultrachrome Ink.
The tests were completed without the usual protective glass layer as canvas is usually displayed in the open.
The Image Permanence Institute (IPI) in the USA conducted accelerated fade tests independently.

The combination of Aquathane-UV, Premium Edition Canvas and Epson Ultrachrome ink did not reach endpoint (failure) in any of the 81 colour patches tested, including unprinted canvas, in the equivalent of 102 years exposure.
Aquathane-UV is made in Australia specifically for pigment printed canvas products and contains nano technology UV inhibitors, flexibility and anti-fungal agents.

Aquathane-UV’s base resin is a type of flexible urethane not an inexpensive lacquer or acrylic.
Although much more expensive than acrylics, urethanes are better suited to the Australian climate offering more resistance to the Australian heat and being fully waterproof after curing.
